Tasso’s epic poem in which he depicts a highly imaginative version of the combats between Christians and Muslims at the end of the First Crusade, during the Siege of Jerusalem. Said to be a favorite of both King James and Charles I.
The materials for the life of Fairfax are slight, and in some matters contradictory. They are principally comprised in a communication from Mr. Brian Fairfax, a descendant of the poet, to Bishop Atterbury; in a notice by Dodsworth the antiquary, in his manuscript work, ‘ Sancti et Scriptores Ebor.; in a short biographical account by Mrs. Cooper, in her • Muses Library;• which she states to have been furnished to her by Fairfax’s family; and in the Peerages of the times of Elizabeth and James I.
